The Newark Earthworks in Ohio are monuments to the human genius of ancient people who built them. These awe-inspiring structures have earned World Heritage status as one of the world’s most magnificent wonders. We can only guess the purposes and meanings they had for their builders and for others who have marveled at them over the centuries.

The Newark Earthworks
This month in Newark, Ohio, the Octagon is finally open to the public. It is among the most impressive of North America’s many ancient earthworks, but it has been occupied for more than a century by a private country club golf course. As of January 1, the golfers are gone, and this World Heritage site belongs to the world.
